For now they will only stop using the old name after March 2027 because of the merger. "Nishinomiya Kurakuen Highschool" will continue to operate as a Prefectural Highschool there.
But if the number of students continues to decline, closure might be inevitable at some point.

That being said, I hope the school will be used as a school for a long time. I'd rather not be able to visit (because it's an active school), than seeing it being closed or turned into a museum.

Don't rub salt into the wound. I'm already back home. 😭
I would have loved to go there but the anouncement came too late to change my travel plans.
It's not the same, but it will be fun to look at the photos posted by people who have a chance to go there next Sunday.
If they're open again, I'll go.

With the exception of Hanasaku Iroha Anime Tourism Association doesn't recognize those places as a "Seichi". That's why you didn't find a plaque or stamp for the other shows.
There are more criteria involved than just popularity of a show to get listed on their "animation spot 88" list.

The lady running the shop is not the youngest. I assume she operated it for quite some time now. I couldn't talk with her much, but "nakayoshi" describes the atmosphere there during my last visit pretty well. Lively, cheerful and everyone having a good time together. Like visiting a friend. :)

The shop is already there on Steetview images from 2014.
So it at least predates the broadcast of season 1. Not sure how popular the "Nakayoshikawa" duo was when the Eupho novels were released in Japan, but I would assume that the similar names are just coincidence.

They do have posters inside and if you visit at the right time of year, you can order the same food Osanai ordered in the show (tropical fruits parfait). They have an exchange notebook there too.
I guess only time will tell if this place will become a base for fans doing a pilgrimage or not.

With current anime where inducing "artificial" seichi junrei is a goal from the start, the line gets a bit blurry. Is a place a seichi because of marketing or because fans started gathering there?
One such place I visited recently is Natural Cafe in Gifu. It was used as a model for Shoshimin.

I've only been to Nakayoshi and Kaguya before. Can't believe I somehow overlooked Kiku all those years...
Nakayoshi has a Eupho corner at the entrance and the Natsuki Tobidashi outside.
I remember Kaguya had the mini character panels and some other goods on display.

No, the "head" on the right and the rhino statues on the left are an indicator that this is a composite of two different locations. Both can be found in another playground nearby.
If you want to know how the place looked back then, I recommend Kobayas video (01:40). www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-VG...

You're talking about Jashumon, right? It's located in Daita, Setagaya ward, Tokyo.

Automatic thumbnails sounds more like a channel setting that can be enabled/disabled by the channel owner.

Sorry, seems like I didn't read your post correctly after t
my flight home. 😓 There is an option to disable usage of automatically generated subtitles in the playback options. I think there used to be a similar option for dubs too, but I can't find it anymore. Maybe it was removed.

It will be interesting to see what will be added/changed compared to the anime version.
At the same time I'm a bit sceptical that this movie really needs a Live-Action version. At least it's not a Hollywood remake.

Yeah, it was really annoying when they turned on this feature. I have no clue why they think I want a crappy AI translation instead of the original for non-German content. It's stupid to make it the default option, but at least you can turn it off in the settings.

If you don't take notes during the movie, it's easy to forget a location. This is what happened here when I went to Saga. Luckily I had to transfer trains at Shin-Tosu station again, on my way back to Kansai.

I forgot to take a photo of the bridge during Balloon Fiesta, so I went back after watching the movie a second time in Karatsu.

Of course a Zombie Land Saga movie wouldn't be complete without a Drive-in Tori reference. This time it's only one cut, showing the owner looking outside during the arrival of the aliens.

Maria and her friends apparently work at メルヘン村, now that they aren't busy with their biker gang anymore. This isn't a new location. It was already used for the eyecatch in season 2, episode 5.
